Hollywood Walk of Fame, Hollywood, California, USA

We stayed at a great place in LA! The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (see photo) is located on the best part of the Hollywood Walk of Fame across the street from Grauman’s Chinese Theatre with many things to do. Since 1927, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is perhaps Hollywood’s most famous hotel (see photo). The first Academy Awards took place here in 1929 so the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is called the birthplace of the Academy Awardsand has been the playground of celebrities including Clark Gable and Carole Lombard who used to come and have secret rendezvous’.

Marilyn Monroe lived at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for 2 years and posed for her first commercial ad for toothpaste while lounging on the pool's diving board (see photo). It is said upwards of 35 ghosts, including Marilyn’s, wander this grand old hotel. Although it would have been fun, we didn’t see (or feel) any ghosts.

The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel has modern rooms with an Olympic-size heated pool and great restaurants like the Public Kitchen & Bar (see photos). For a price, you can stay in the Gable & Lombard Suite or the poolside room where Marilyn Monroe stayed. Because so many celebrities have stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel over the many years, it is likely that you will stay in a room where one of them stayed.
